KINGSTON >> The man who was wounded in Tuesday’s shooting near the Colonial Gardens and Stuyvesant Charter apartments fired one shot in the same incident and has been arrested, according to city police.

Devin A. Gray, 20, of Port Ewen, was charged Thursday with reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal use of a firearm, all felonies, police said. His arrest was announced in an 11 p.m. posting on the Kingston Police Department’s Facebook page.

Police said Gray was taken into custody in Albany — where he had been hospitalized since Tuesday’s shooting — brought back to Kingston, arraigned in City Court and sent to the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Gray’s arrest followed that of Eric S. Harris, 24, of North Street, Kingston, who was charged Tuesday with attempted murder, criminal use of a firearm and reckless endangerment, all felonies, and a misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly shooting Gray. Harris, too, was sent to the county jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Gray was shot in the abdomen in the incident, which happened at 1:50 a.m. Tuesday, and city police Detective Lt. Thierry Croizer said early Thursday that, in fact, two people fired guns in the altercation. Croizer also said one of two guns recovered in the investigation, as well as a large amount of ammunition seized by police, did not belong to Harris.

Police said on Tuesday that Harris used a 12-gauge shotgun in the shooting and that the other weapon recovered was a 9mm rifle. Croizer said on Friday that the rifle — a semi-automatic weapon with a pistol grip — belonged to Gray.

Croizer said Gray fired only shot and no one was struck by it.

Several shots fired during the Tuesday morning incident pierced the wall of an apartment at the Stuyvesant Charter complex where a woman and her two sons were sleeping. None of them was struck. Croizer said those shots were fired by Harris.
